SIMPLE MACARONI AND CHEESE
A very quick and easy fix to a tasty side-dish. Fancy, designer mac and cheese often costs forty or fifty dollars to prepare when you have so many exotic and expensive cheeses, but they aren't always the best tasting. This recipe is cheap and tasty.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
- Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
- Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
- In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
- Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to broil.
- Cook the noodles, as directed.
- Cube about 3/4 of the block of sharp cheddar cheese, and 3/4 of the block of mild cheddar cheese.
- Cut the remaining 1/4 of the blocks of cheese into slices, set aside.
- In a large sauce pan, heat the egg and begin melting the cubed cheese.
- Stir constantly!
- Slowly add the cubed cheese and evaporated milk, until all the cubed cheese is melted and desired consistency is reached. (I usually don't use the whole can of milk, but if you like it creamier, feel free!).
- Mix cooked noodles into the sauce pan with the melted cheese sauce.
- Pour into a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
- Cover the dish with the remaining sliced cheese.
- Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly & brownish.
